1948 ag6h

The shaft if our 1948 AGH6 broke.

We are trying to get the shaft out, but nothing seems to get it to go. Other than the retaining clips, what else needs to be removed?

We are under the impression that this shaft needs to be pressed one way and then pressed the other to get the thin bronze faced bushings and cast bushings out.

Is it possible it is just adhered by rust?

Are we missing something? Or is there a special tool needed to take this thing apart.

HELP, please.

We need this machine running ASAP to get our land prepped for building.

There are many shafts on an AG. I can't think of which one you're talking about. More info please.

Sorry, it is the idler shaft that holds the wheel on.

We phoned Zimmerman's and they said that there is nothing holding it on and that we just have to hit it... but the thing is not moving.  We hare removed the retaining clips and lock nuts. Not sure where to go now. Cannot remove oil seals, but those apparently do not hold it together.

The piece it is housed in looks like it has a lip on the outside edge. Does it push past that?

Is there a special took needed?

Thanks!

I'd say a hammer and maybe some heat on the housing. Be best really to pop the whole piece out and put it in a press maybe. I can't honestly say I have had one out so... Best of luck
